Great write-up on the TT RS.

I've got the identical looking car.

By any chance did you clearbra the car?

I'm trying to find a kit, but no luck yet.

You, me, and DrDomm over on Fourtitude.

No one has a clear bra kit yet. I contacted 3M directly, as did some of the installers. One of the installers is checking with the euro companies. Venture (3M arm) is supposed to have a car they're measuring, so we may have something soon.

Right now it's a custom job, which is $$$. Otherwise wait. Since I'm going to the track this month, I'm gonna order the Lamin-X headlight kit; pretty easy to put on. The nose will be blue on the track day.

I was in Germany last week, and driving down the A-81 south of Stuttgart (in a rented diesel MB wagon) at about 110 mph, when a clone of your car blasted past me at what I'd guess was 140-150 mph. As angry-awesome as it looks standing still in your driveway, it looks even cooler in the rearview mirror closing fast. Gorgeous car.

Do you think the regular exhaust would drone less on the highway?

You mean the stock TTRS exhaust? I drive with Sport off (meaning stock exhaust). It still 'drones'.

The point I was making in my review was that the stock exhaust is plenty loud. The Sport exhaust amplifies it only a little, but adds a little more texture to it. Don't get me wrong: you can hear the difference, but not a huge difference.

Default Finally saw one in person today

Leaving the skating rink this afternoon, I saw a blue Mk II TT pull onto the road a few blocks ahead of me. It appeared to have the TT RS spoiler, so I sped up to get a closer look. Sure enough, a Sepang Blue TT RS! First one I've seen in person. Of course, it didn't occur to me to pull out my cell phone and snap a photo, but if I see it again, I will certainly do so.

I think he's referring to the stock exhaust you get, when the $2700 "Sport exhaust/Titanium package" option isn't selected - not just turning the Sport mode off.

I don't have any drone in either mode with the std exhaust.

Porttac, I jest, I jest!

I didn't mean to offend anyone. I was just taking advantage of the situation to spout a Jezza-ism.

Trust me, I'm one of the biggest Audi fanatics around (only owned Audi) and love the TT. I'm just not a fan of cars with virgin convex curves on the rear deck. I like a bit of an edge to the the trunk line. I actually like the Mk1 better with the spoiler. Just like I prefer a 928 S4 to the original. Or an LP500S with wing vs the prototype. Can't stand the CLS. I like a bit of rice with my bratwurst, which is why I prefer S-line packages.

Just my preference. No offense intended. One has to admit, the RS definitely has a much more aggressive look with the wing on, vs the MkII's cleaner lines.
